[FRIAM] God in Science and Religion (was Re: why some people hate cops)

[Marcus Daniels]

If a sitting president lost an election and did not concede to a peaceful transition of power, it stands to reason the transition is likely to be unpeaceful.  If someone non-impotent like Bernie Sanders were, in effect, to incite the sort of people prone to that, I don't think the first thing I would do is wag my finger at him.

Excellent! That answers it nicely. I just wasn't sure if that *was* the flag or if you were saying it didn't need a flag and merely using it to segue.

Yes, there's some slippery ground around "protected classes", which is why the composition of the SCOTUS is so important.

In my little corner of the world, I've never had to make that determination as a manager or any other position of authority. Nor have I been part of large enough organizations to sit through seminars listen to this sort of expertise. I did find your EricC reference interesting in this regard if a "majority" could be a protected class. Relatedly, I came across this WaPO article <https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/07/07/canadian-judge-punching-a-caucasian-and-yelling-i-hate-white-people-isnt-a-hate-crime/> of a First Nation/Native woman yelled "I hate white people" and then punched a lady in the nose and it was judged not a hate crime.
